Independent software for the people who actually use it.

Aviastone is a small studio building professional desktop tools for photographers, designers, and creators. We sell software directly, as an annual license with perpetual use rights — no subscription lock-in, and no telemetry. Your files stay on your machine.

Available now

Cullstack

Cull where your photos live.

Photo and video culling cockpit that browses every storage backend you actually use — local drives, NAS, SFTP, WebDAV, Dropbox, OneDrive, Google Photos, iCloud, and USB-connected phones — without downloading or consolidating first. Ships with on-device AI: semantic image search ("sunset over water"), face detection, closed-eye and NSFW flagging, and smart auto-stacking by visual similarity, capture-time bursts, or face identity. No subscription lock-in, no cloud uploads, no model training on your photos. Mac, Windows, and Linux from one license — currently in Early Access: full Pro features for $99/yr, your price locked in for good even after Pro rises to $179/yr at release. Free 30-day trial.

In development

Coming 2026

A second tool from the Aviastone studio.

We're working on a new desktop app for creative professionals, sharing the same design principles: local files, no subscription lock-in, no telemetry, no AI training on your work. Sign up below to hear when it launches.

Future product

More to come from the studio.

Aviastone's roadmap includes additional desktop tools built around the same principles: ownership, privacy, cross-platform support, and fair pricing without the lock-in.

TBD

What we believe.

🔒

Your files stay on your machine

We build desktop software, not cloud services. Your photos, documents, and work product never leave your hardware. AI features — when we ship them — run on your device, not on our servers; we never train models on your work and never collect telemetry. This isn't a feature — it's the default.

🎯

Annual license, never a lockout

An annual license with perpetual use rights — not a subscription that holds your work hostage. You pay yearly and get every update while you're licensed, but if you ever stop renewing, you keep the last version you had, working, for good. A tool you rely on every day shouldn't lock you out the moment you stop paying.

🌍

Cross-platform from day one

Every Aviastone product runs on Mac, Windows, and Linux from the same codebase. One license, every platform. We don't believe in punishing customers for their hardware choice or hiding features behind platform tiers.

Built by people who use the tools

Every product we ship is built because we needed it ourselves and couldn't find a tool that did the job right. We're not chasing markets — we're solving our own problems and inviting people who share them.
